To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Foldables Principles of Natural Selection Make the following Foldable to help you understand the process of natural selection.
30
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Foldables Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise.
31
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Foldables Fold paper down 2.5 cm from the top. (Hint: From the tip of your index finger to your middle knuckle is about 2.5 cm.
32
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Foldables Open and draw lines along the 2.5-cm fold and the center fold. Label as shown.
33
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Foldables As you read, list the five principles of natural selection in the left-hand column. In the right- hand column, briefly write an example for each principle. Summarize in a Table
34
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. 1 1 Evolution is one of the central ideas of biology. It explains how living things have changed in the past and is a basis for predicting how they might change in the future. Ideas About Evolution Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection to explain how evolutionary changes account for the diversity of organisms on Earth. Reviewing Main Ideas
35
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. 1 1 Natural selection includes concepts of variation, overproduction, and competition. Ideas About Evolution According to natural selection, organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Reviewing Main Ideas
36
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. 2 2 Fossils provide evidence for evolution. Clues About Evolution Relative dating and radiometric dating can be used to estimate the age of fossils. Reviewing Main Ideas The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, pesticide-resistant insects, and rapid genetic changes in plant species provides direct evidence that evolution occurs. Homologous structures, vestigial structures, comparative embryology, and similarities in DNA provide indirect evidence of evolution.
37

The Evolution of Primates The earliest known hominid fossil is Australopithecus. Reviewing Main Ideas Homo sapiens are thought to have evolved from Cro-Magnon humans about 400,000 years ago.

Which beak would best be used for probing beneath tree bark? A. long, slender B. long, fat C. medium-sized D. short, strong
39
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is A. A long, slender beak would be best for probing beneath tree bark. Chapter Review
40
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Question 2 What would a short, strong beak be best used for? A. eating insects B. drinking nectar C. prying insects out of small holes D. breaking hard shells Chapter Review
41
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is D. Finches that eat nuts and seeds have short, stout, “crushing” beaks. Chapter Review
42
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Chapter Review Question 3 Answer A _______ is an inherited trait that makes an individual different from other members of its species. The answer is variation. Variations result from permanent changes, or mutations, in an organism’s genes.
43
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Chapter Review Question 4 _______ are scientists who study the past by collecting and examining fossils. A. Biologists B. Entomologists C. Ecologists D. Paleontologists
44
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is D. Paleontologists study fossils in order to learn which plants and animals lived during various periods of Earth’s history. Chapter Review
45
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Chapter Review Question 5 _______ and _______ are two basic methods used to estimate the ages of rocks and fossils?
46
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Chapter Review The answer is relative dating and radiometric dating. Relative dating is based on rock layers and radiometric dating compares the amount of radioactive element with the amount of nonradioactive element in the rock. Answer
47
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Question 1 Which is an imprint on sediment that later hardens to become rock? A. cast fossil B. frozen fossil C. imprint fossil D. mineralized fossil Standardized Test Practice
48
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is C. A leaf, feather, bones, or even the entire body of an organism can leave an imprint on sediment that later hardens to become rock. Standardized Test Practice
49
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Question 2 Which is NOT an example of an adaptation? A. albinism B. camouflage C. hibernation D. nocturnal behavior Standardized Test Practice
50
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is A. An adaptation is any variation that makes an organism better suited to its environment. Albinism prevents an organism from blending into its environment. Standardized Test Practice
51
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Question 3 Which is the best example of punctuated equilibrium? A. alligator evolution B. camel evolution C. human evolution D. penicillin-resistant bacteria Standardized Test Practice
52
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is D. According to the punctuated equilibrium model, rapid evolution comes about when the mutation of a few genes results in the appearance of a new species over a relatively short period of time. Standardized Test Practice
53
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Question 4 According to the Principles of Natural Selection, which of the following is the best answer? Standardized Test Practice
54
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. A. Organisms produce just enough offspring to survive. B. All variations are helpful. Standardized Test Practice
55
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. C. Organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive. D. Variations are never passed to offspring. Standardized Test Practice
56
To return to the chapter summary click Escape or close this document. Answer The answer is C. Organisms produce more offspring that can survive, not all variations are helpful, and some variations are passed to offspring. Standardized Test Practice
57
